Wolf Heart

   Wolf Heart (a. cycle 10), formerly known as Duron Wolfheart, is a citizen and hunter of the Nashashuk Confederacy.

Early Life
Born to a noble house, he was abandoned in the woods at age 12 by his brothers after they were attacked by wolves travelling Frostback Mountains, far, far away from their homeland. They thought him dead, as he fell hitting a branch while running from the wild beasts. But these wolves were not wild beasts, they were companions of The Dunefrost Tribe, Hillfolk living in the Frostbacks. During his childhood years he had a special relationship with the animals, and he managed to use his connection to calm the wolves as they jumped him.

The Dunefrost hunters saw this trait in the young boy and spared his life, taking him to their chieftan. He was at first reluctant to the idea of letting him stay, but as his kin was long gone by now and would not come look for him, the chieftan made the decision that he was to be named Wolfheart and trained as one of their own hunters.

Maelstrom
Well over 15 years went by, and he was last surviving member of a naval expedition, hit by a terrible storm (The Maelstrom), to discover new lands for his tribe to settle. Their builders, hunters and scouts were killed in the shipwreck. So he saw no hope in trying to get back and live out his days knowing his tribe would soon perish.

Instead he wanted to keep true to their way of life; hunting and domesticating beasts of the lands.

The Nashashuk Confederacy
Upon entering the shores of The Center, Duron meets White Eagle, of the Taloga Tribe and the Nashashuk Confederacy. Happy to see a friendly face, White Eagle shows him a safe place to start building a small home.

Duron somehow felt drawn to the Grove, The Nashashuk sanctuary. He had long conversations and was very interested in the Nashashuk culture, he felt in his heart that this was a place he would belong as he did with the Dunefrosts when they found him in the mountains.

His ritual of commitment was one by drowning, to be reborn into the tribe. He left his given name, Duron, behind and took on himself how new name: Wolf Heart. He became one of the Confederacy Hunters and Beast Masters.
